Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

March 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1927 - Don Richard (Richie) Ashburn is born in Tilden, Nebraska. A five-time All-Star, Ashburn will be a solid center fielder and a solid hitter for the Philadelphia Phillies. He will hit over .300 during 9 of his 15 major league seasons, twice capturing the National League batting title and conclude his career with a .308 lifetime average. Following his playing career, he will call Phillies games for more than three decades. Ashburn will be elected to the Hall of Fame by the Special Veterans Committee in 1995.

1951 - Detroit Tigers player representative Fred Hutchinson asks that players be allowed a say in choosing the new baseball commissioner.

1961 - The Boston Red Sox announce that rookie Carl Yastrzemski will start the regular season in left field, succeeding the legendary Ted Williams. Yastrzemski will remain a fixture in the Red Sox's lineup for the next 23 years.

1974 - In a five-player three-team deal involving the Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, and New York Yankees, pitcher Jim Perry joins his pitching brother, Gaylord, in Cleveland. Detroit sends Perry to Cleveland and Ed Farmer to the Yankees, who send Jerry Moses to Detroit, and Cleveland sends Rick Sawyer and Walt Williams to the Yankees.

TIGERS NOTES

Norris scratched: Left-hander Daniel Norris was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday in Jupiter, Fla., against the Miami Marlins due to back stiffness. Left-hander Blaine Hardy was slotted into the starting spot in place of Norris.

On the move: Andrew Romine is a utility infielder who plays mostly at shortstop and third base. On Friday, he saw some time in center field in a win over the St. Louis Cardinals. He is in the lineup today at first base.
